National Guard to pull out of NASCAR and IndyCar - 0 Comments

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The National Guard is ending its sponsorship of both NASCAR's most popular driver and one of the most recognizable names in IndyCar.

It's not clear when the guard is leaving motorsports. It said in a Wednesday statement on its web site that its contracts to sponsor Dale Earnhardt Jr. in NASCAR and Graham Rahal in IndyCar run through the end of the year. Typically, government contracts are reviewed annually.

But, Hendrick Motorsports said in a statement it has a contract with the guard through 2015.
